Looking to cosplay but can't really decide on what I would generally like to stay away from wigs (I think ide look silly in one) UNLESS the character has a mask ... I am a chubby guy built like a football player.... want to find something flattering to my bodytype

I don't wanna end up limiting myself to fatter characters because all i see in that category are characters im not interested in at all..

hmm, how about that biker pokemon trainer from pokemon diamond/pearl? he is big built, and is bald. sorry i dont have a picture though DX u could try searching 'pokemon diamond and pearl sprites' or something like that and he might show up

I usually suggest non anime character like King Pin (Spiderman) or something with bad ass armor like a Judge (FFXII) for large guys.
I've noticed that pyramid Head (Silent Hill) tends to be a common cosplay for beefier guys too!

When you said bigger character. I thought maybe if you like you could look after characters from Dragon Ball. They are often buff and fits well to bigger guys. At Uppcon10 I saw a Vegeta and Goku and both those was bigger guys. Looked really good.

If you don´t like Dragon Ball then I might later come up with some more suggestions.

Pippin from Berserk, Armstrong/ from FMA or even Sig Curtis Izumi's Husband, Kikuchiyo- Samurai 7, ooooo throw in a second vote for Jet from Cowboy beebop! Umm...

Really should race matter? and as for wig. if someone has one... just forgo it. I've seen plenty of people slip by without a wig to match their character so really? wig ...dont like wearing one dont bother.
